Preface, 

In the followiuji- pages there is a record (if the Two Hun- 
dred and Third IJeiiinient, New York Volunteer Infantry, 
wliicli tells the story of its organization, its service, and its 
ninsto^r out, facts of interest of those who served with the 
regiment, and important as part of the military history of 
tlie State and of the War. 

The 203rd had the trying experience of continuous camp 
life, unbroken by the interest and excitement of active cam- 
paigning. The one thing which the American Volunteer 
wants to do when he gets a gun in his hands, is to fight, and 
this spirit often resents the delays which are absolutely 
necessary to prepare a force for its most important work. 
It is doubtful if a regiment's discipline — that cornerstone 
of soldierly merit^ — could be put to a severer test than spend- 
ing a year in camp, while other regiments are at the front. 
Digging sinks and ditches, policing camp, burning refuse, 
even drilling and marching, important as they all are, do 
not realize the young soldier's idea of war, to say nothing of 
his dream of glory. It is no light praise to say that the 
officers and men of the 203d, through the long and some- 
times tedious months, worked honestly and persistently, 
and doggedly, when not cheerfully, to bring the regiment 
up to the higli standards of the United States service. 

All cherished until the last a hope that they would see 
some active service, and until the last all strove to make 
the regiment so efficient that it could perform with credit 
any duty to which it might be assigned. 

In its Colonel the regiment had an able officer, who 
brought to it the best spirit of the army, and the officers as 
a body did their work faithfully in perfecting the regiment 
and in caring for the men. 

The enlisted men represented many different occujiations 
and many different stations in life; all in all the regiment 
was probably as thorough a type of a volunteer regiment as 



— 4 — 

any in the sorvico. It improved and developed steadily, 
and it was no partial judgment which made all its mem- 
bers proud of it, but with no false pride, or useless asser- 
tion of superiority over others. 

It was a bitter disappointment to the regiment that it 
did not have a chance to prove its worth by active service, 
but the keenness of that feeling was softened by the knowl- 
edge that it tried to do the duty to which it was ordered in 
a way worthy of the uniform which it wore. 

A large proportion of the officers and many of the men 
had served in the National Guard, and in our regiment, as 
in all the others from New York, this service proved to be 
of value. Fnder the wise guidance of New York's present 
Governor, and of the Major General commanding the forces, 
the future training of the Guard will be such as to still bet- 
ter fit it to enter upon the actual duties of a soldier in the 
field. 

This is not the place to discuss the methods of organizing 
a reserve for our army, but it may not be out of place to ex- 
press the hope that some system will eventually be adopted 
which will make our Volunteer Eegiments less evanescent 
than the three which last went out from this State; and 
that for the benefit of our military service there will be 
something more than a few printed pages to perpetuate the 
spirit, the traditions and the esprit de corps of such regi- 
ments as the 203d.

Chapter L 



Introductory. 

It is not the purpose of this work to review all the events 
leading- up to the declaration of war between the United 
States and Spain; mention, however, will be made of some 
of the more important occurrences which eventually neces- 
sitated the organization of the army of which the Two Hun- 
dred and Third Regiment, Infantry, New York Volunteers, 
formed a part. 

For over two years the Spaniards in their ineffectual 
attempt to subdue the people of Cuba, utterly disregarded 
the rules of civilized warfare and indulged in cruel and in- 
humane practices which aroused the sympathy and provok- 
ed the indignation of the people of the United States. 

Conditions continued to grow worse and thousands of 
women and children — Spanish prisoners — were dying of 
starvation within the limits of the City of Havana; riots 
were of daily occurrence and the lives and property of 
American citizens were in jeopardy. 

When these facts were officially reported by Consul Gen- 
eral Lee, then stationed at Havana, a war vessel was order- 
ed there to protect the rights of our people. 

The United States battleship Maine arrived in Havana 
harbor on the 25tli day of January, 1898, where it remained 
at anchor until the evening of the 15th of February, when 
a terrific explosion occurred which completely wrecked the 
vessel and caused the death of two officers and two hundred 
and fifty-eight members of the crew. 

On the 17th of February, Captain, now Admiral, William 
T. Sampson, Captain F. E. Chadwick, of the New York; 
Lieutenant Commander W. P. Porter, of the New York, and 
Lieutenant Commander A. Marix, of the Vermont, were ap- 



pointed a Board of Inquiry to discover if possible the cause 
of tliis disaster. 

After examining a large number of witnesses they re- 
ported on March 22nd, that "• in the opinion of Court the 
Maine was destroyed by the exx3losion of a sub-marine 
mine." 

Public opinion in the United States charged this dastard- 
ly act to some officer or servant of Spain, though the report 
of the Board of Inquiry did not justify any such conclusion. 

On March 25th, the House of Kepresentatives by unani- 
mous vote passed a bill appropriating $50,000,000 to be 
placed at the disposal of the President for National De- 
fence, and the next day the Senate passed the same measure 
by a unanimous vote. 

On the 11th of April, President McKinley sent his mes- 
sage to Congress, advising armed intervention in Cuba, and 
on April 19th Congress demanded that " Spain relinquish 
its authority in the Island of Cuba.'' 

Senor Polo y Bernabe, the Spanish Minister at Washing- 
ton, was given his passports on April 20, and on the follow- 
ing day Hon. Stewart L. Woodford, American Minister to 
Spain, was given his passports at Madrid, and war was 
officially begun between the two nations. 

On April 23rd, 1898, the President of the United States 
issued a call for 125,000 volunteers, to be furnished by the 
States of the Union. 

After reciting the provisions of the joint Congressional 
resolution of April 22d, the proclamation continues: " Now, 
therefore, I, William McKinley, President of the United 
States, by virtue of the power vested in me by the Constitu- 
tion and the laws, and deeming sufficient occasion to exist, 
have thought fit to call for and hereby do call for volun- 
teers, to the aggregate number of 125,000, in order to carry 
into effect the purpose of said resolution; the same to be 
apportioned as far as practicable among the several States 
and Territories and the District of Columbia, according to 
population, and to serve for two years unless sooner dis- 



— 7 — 

charged. The details for this object will be iiiiuu'diately 
communicated to the proper authorities through the War 
Department." 

On April 25th the following telegram was received by the 
Governor of the State of New York from the Secretary of 
War: 

" The number of troops from your State, under the call 
of the President, dated April 23, 1898, will be twelve regi- 
ments of infantry and two troops of cavalry. It is the wish 
of the President that the regiments of the National Guard 
or State Militia be used as far as their numbers will permit, 
for the. reason that they are armed, equipped and drilled. 
Please wire as early as possible what equipments, ammuni- 
tion, arms, blankets, tents, etc., you have and wluit addi- 
tional you will require. Please also state when troops will 
be ready for muster into United States service. Details to 
follow by mail." 

This telegram was followed by a letter of even date: 
To the Governor of New York, 

Sir: — Under the Act of Congress "to provide for tem- 
porarily increasing the military establishment of the United 
States in time of war, and for other purposes," approved 
April 22, 1898, and call for 125,000 volunteers, by direction 
of the President, I have the honor to request you to provide 
from your State the quota of volunteers as follows: 

Twelve regiments infantry, two troops cavalry, to serve 
in the arms of service designated for the period of two years, 
unless sooner discharged. Attached will be found a state- 
ment showing the organization for artillery, cavalry and 
infantry. 

Please cause the iVdjutant General of the Army to be in- 
formed of the time your quota will be at its rendezvous, as 
it will be met as soon as practicable thereafter by an officer 
to muster it into the service and pay of the United States. 
The mustering officer will be instructed to receive no man 
under the rank of commissioned officer who is in years over 
forty-five or under eighteen, or who is not in ])liysical 
strength and vigor. As soon as mustered into the United 
States service, it is the intention that troops from your State 
shall be assembled with others for instruction and service 
under the direction of the Major General commanding the 



— 8 — 

army, at some point or points to be designated hereafter. 
It is desired, for reasons stated in telegram of this date, 
that, as far as practicable, the National Guard be given 
preference. 

The rendezvous for your State will be Peekskill. If, for 
any cause, it is found necessary to change point of concen- 
tration, your recommendation is requested. 

Bands may be organized from the strength of regiments 
as in the regular army, viz: See paragraph 245, Army Reg- 
ulations, 1895. 

Very respectfully, 

R. A. ALGER, 

Secretary of War. 

Based upon the information received from the Major- 
General commanding the National Guard and the reports 
of the respective commanding officers of organizations. Gen- 
eral Order No. 8, was issued on April 27, 1898, of which the 
first paragraph was as follows: 

" The President of the United States having called on this 
State for twelve regiments of infantry and two troops of 
cavalry, and requested that as far as practicable the Na- 
tional Guard be given the preference, the following organi- 
zations are selected to enter the service of the United States 
as volunteer regiments for a service of two years unless 
sooner discharged: Of the First Brigade, the Ninth and 
Twelfth Regiments; of the Second Brigade, the Thirteenth, 
Fourteenth and Forty-seventh Regiments; of the Third Bri- 
gade, two regiments of the organizations of the brigade; of 
the Fourth Brigade, the Sixty-fifth Regiment, and one regi- 
ment of the separate companies of the brigade; of the Fifth 
Brigade, the Eighth, Sixty-ninth and Seventy-first regi- 
ments. The two troops of cavalry will be furnished, one by 
Squadron A, the second by Troop C." 

Three of these regiments were made up of separate com- 
panies, selected from different parts of the State, and after 
their organization there remained in the State service the 
following ten separate companies: 

Fourth, Yonkers; Tenth, Newburgh; Eleventh, Mt. Ver- 
non; Sixteenth, Catskill; Seventeenth, Flushing; Twenty- 
third, Hudson; Twenty-seventh, Malone; Twenty-eighth, 



— 9 — 

Ulica; Thirty-ninth, Watertown, and the Fortieth, of 
Ogdensburgh. 

Many members of these companies were intensely disap- 
pointed that they were not selected for the volnnteer forces 
as they had expressed their willingness to enter the service 
of the United States, and a large number of those men se- 
cured transfers to organizations that had been selected for 
service in the volunteer army. 

On April 28th, orders were issued directing the organiza- 
tion of National Guard regiments and companies to replace 
those which entered the volunteer service. 

Enlistments in both the original and new companies were 
prompted by the assurance that the members of those organ- 
izations would have the first opportunity of volunteering 
for service in the United States army should a second call 
be made for volunteers, and in a short time the National 
Guard of the State of New York had almost attained its 
original numerical strength. 



Chapter IL 



Organization. 

On the 25th of May, the President issued a call for 75,000 
additional volunteers, and again requested that preference 
be given to the members of the National Guard. Of this 
number New York State furnished 7,958 officers and en- 
listed men, 3,772 of whom went to recruit to the maximun 
strength the organizations already in the service. 

On June 27th, orders were issued directing the formation 
of three regiments of infantry, one of which was to be 
known as the Two Hundred and Third Regiment, Infantry, 
New York Volunteers. The same order directed that two 
battalions of this regiment be recruited at the State Arm- 
ory at Syracuse and one battalion at the Twelfth Regiment 
Armory in New York City. 

On the same day the commanding officers of the ten origi- 
nal separate companies were invited by the Commander-in- 
Chief to " nominate officers or men of their respective com- 
mands to be commissioned in the new regiments under the 
second call; one each for Captain, First and Second Lieu- 
tenants." 

In answer to this invitation the officers addressed invari- 
blv forwarded their own names and those of their subordi- 
nate officers or non-commissioned officers in line of promo- 
tion. 

Captain Walter S. Schuyler, Fifth United States Cavalry, 
was commissioned Colonel of Volunteers and assigned to 
the command of the Two Hundred and Third Regiment. 

On June 25th, Mr. Norton Chase, formerly Major, Tenth 
Battalion, was appointed Quartermaster, and on June 30th 
assigned to this regiment. 

On the same day Dr. Burton S. Booth, late Assistant Sur- 
geon, Sixth Separate Company; Dr. William A. Burgess, 



— 11 — 

Sixteenth Battalion, and Dr. Abram L. Haynes, were ap- 
pointed Snrgeon and Assistant Surgeon respectively; they 
were assigned to the Two Hundred and Third Iteginient on 
June 30th. 

William Cary Sanger, Colonel and Assistant Chief of Ar- 
tillery, N. G. S. N. Y., was commissioned Lieutenant Col- 
onel; Lewis E. Goodier, Captain Company E, First Kegi- 
ment, N. Y. V. L, and John McClintock, Major 171st Regi- 
uKMit, N. G. X. Y., were appointed Majors. Albert Dod 
Minor, Captain 131st Separate Company, N. G. N. Y., was 
appointed Chaplain, and Henry S. Clark, Colonel and Assis- 
tant Adjutant General, First Brigade, N. G. N. Y., was com- 
missioned First Lieutenant and Adjutant. 

On July 11th, pursuant to orders previously received, the 
volunteers from the Sixteenth, Twenty-third, Twenty-sev- 
enth, Twenty-eighth, Thirty-ninth and Fortieth Separate 
Companies left their home stations for Sj^racuse, where they 
arrived the same day. 

The commanding oflticers of the new separate companies 
also received orders to forward all volunteers from their 
respective commands to the nearest recruiting station. Pur- 
suant to the provisions of these orders the volunteers from 
the One Hundred and Fifth and One Hundred and Twenty- 
fourth Separate Companies were sent to New York City, 
while the volunteers from the new companies in the vicinity 
of Syracuse were sent to that place. 

Oil July 12, the volunteers from the Fourth, Tenth, Elev- 
enth and Seventeenth Separate Companii^s left their home 
stations for New York, where they arrived the same day 
and ]>roceeded directh^ to the Twelfth IJegiment Armory. 

The examination of the recruits Avas begun at once by the 
regimental surgeons. Surgeon Booth conducted the exam- 
inations at New York City, while Assistant Surgeons Bur- 
gess and Haynes looked after the applicants at Syracuse. 

The place of recruiting in New York City was changed 
from the Twelfth Regiment Armory to the Twenty-second 
Regiment Armory, as the former place was occupied by the 



— 12 — 

recruiting officers of the Two Hundred and First Regiment. 

On July 13, the commanding officer, whose recruiting was 
limited heretofore to members of the National Guard or- 
ganization, received authority to recruit civilians. 

On July 15, Company A was mustered into the United 
States service at Syracuse; Company B was mustered in at 
the Twenty-second Regiment Armory, New York City, and 
Companies C, E and G were mustered in at Syracuse on 
July 19. On July 20, Companies I and K were mustered in 
at Syracuse, and Companies D and F were mustered in at 
New York City on July 21st. On July 22d, Company L was 
mustered in at Syracuse, and Company H was mustered in 
at New York City on July 23d. Company M was mustered 
in at Syracuse on July 21th, thus completing the regiment. 

Lieutenant Smith, of the Second United States Cavalry, 
was detailed as mustering officer at Syracuse, and Lieuten- 
ant Irwin, of the Fifth United States Artillery, was muster- 
ing officer at New York City. 

Company A was composed of men from Syracuse, N. Y.-, 
and vicinity with the One Hundred and Forty-first Sepa- 
rate Company as a nucleus. 

The three officers and a large number of the enlisted men 
of B Company were members of the Fourth Separate Com- 
pany, and the balance of the men were from Yonkers, N. Y., 
and vicinity. 

The One Hundred and Forty-sixth Separate Company of 
Amsterdam, N. Y., was the nucleus about which Company 
C was formed, and the majority of the men were residents 
of Montgomery County. 

Three officers and forty-two men of the Tenth Separate 
Company of Newburgh; twelve men of the 105th Separate 
Company of Newburgh, and six men of the 121th Separate 
Company of Middletown, N. Y., became members of D Com- 
pany, and the balance of the men were enrolled from New 
York City. 

Company E was composed of men from Watertown, N. Y-, 
and vicinity; the three officers and a large number of the 



— la — 

enlisted men being members of the Thii'ty-ninth Separate 
Company of that place. 

All of the officers and a majority of the enlisted men of F 
Company were members of the Seventeenth Separate Com- 
pany of Fhishin.ii-, N. Y., and the balance of the men were 
enrolled at New York City. 

The Twenty-eighth Se]^nrate Company, of Utica, N. Y., 
fnrnished the officers and the majority of the men for G 
Company, and the balance of the men were recruited from 
Oneida County. 

Odgensburg and vicinity was represented in H Company 
by officers and men from the Fortieth Separate Company. 
Part of the company was recruited at Syracuse and the 
balance at New York City. 

The three officers and twenty-three men of I Company 
were members of the Twenty-third Separate Company of 
Hudson, and the remainder of the company was made up 
of men from Columbia County, 
The Sixteenth Separate Company of Catskill furnished the 
nucleus of K Company, the majority of the men being en- 
rolled from Syracuse, N. Y. 

Company L was the only company in the regiment that 
did not have a National Guard company as a basis. The 
company was made up of men from Syracuse, N. Y. 

Franklin County furnished a number of the men of M 
company, the officers and a number of the enlisted men be- 
ing members of the Twenty-seventh Separate Company of 
Malone, N. Y. The rolls of this company were completed 
at Syracuse, N. Y.

Camp Black. 

Each company' as soon as mustered into the United States 
service, proceeded to Camp Black, Hempstead, L. I., the pre- 
viously designated rendezvous of the regiment. 

A complete camp outfit for cooking was furnished to each 
company on their arrival at camp and five days' field rations 
issued by the Post Commissary. Cooks were detailed by 
the commanding officer of each company and the struggle 
with the problem of how to best prepare and serve army 
rations was begun at once. 

Quartermaster Chase, who preceded the regiment to 
camp, furnished every man with a blanket, poncho, and 
mess-kit. 

Colonel Schuvler arrived on Julv 25, and assumed com- 
mand of the camp. On the same day Sergeant Frank H. 
Wade, of A Company, was detailed as Acting Sergeant- 
Major, which position he held until August 13. 

On July 26, Principal Musician Harry Alden was appoint- 
ed Chief Musician; Musicians Hugh Cantwell, of C Com- 
pany, and Ernest Stamm, of L Company, were appointed 
Principal Musicians, and Corporal Paul H. Whitmarsli, of 
K Company, and private Herbert H. Ellis, of 1). Company, 
were ai)pointed Hosi)ital Stewards. 

As soon as practicable the men were sui)i)li<'d with uni- 
forms, and being only the strong and able-bodied, the re- 
sult of the severe physical examination to which the re- 
cruits Avere subjected, they pi-cscutcd a tlionniglily inililary 
appearance. 

A regimental officers' mess was at once established and 
placed under the direct supervision of Captain Klien of F 
Company. 



— 18 — 

During the first few days in camp there was almost in- 
cessant rain, and the tents were without board floors and 
the ground not thoroughly drained. This condition did not 
continue for any length of time, however, as a thorough 
system of drainage was established and the men soon learn- 
ed to arrange their tents comfortably with the aid of the 
straw furnished by the Quartermaster. 

Regular drills were at once established and the progress 
made in this line was both rapid and creditable. This pro- 
ficiency was due in a great measure to the fact that both 
officers and men were enthusiastic and eager to perfect the 
regiment; also to the fact that nearly all the officers and 
non-commissioned officers and not a few of the men had pre- 
viously seen considerable service in the National Guard. 

On July 26, Private Guy E. Wright of L Company Avas 
transferred to A Company, and on the following day Private 
William G. Wallenbeck of A Company was transferred to 
L Company. 

First Lieutenant James G. Hannah of K Company was on 
special duty with a detachment of the Tlst New York from 
July 27th to 30th, when he was relieved by First Lieuten- 
ant Charles F. Nugent of B Company, who was in turn re- 
lieved by Second Lieutenant Alexander D. Jenney of A 
Company, on August 1st. 

On July 30, Ernest Barrilas, a native of Havana, was 
mustered in and assigned to D Company. 

On the same day Corporal Fred W. Field of A Company 
was appointed Eegimental Quartermaster-Sergeant, and on 
the following day private Frank G. Engelhardt of the same 
company was appointed Hospital Steward. 

Private James Killock of D Company was detailed as 
clerk in the Adjutant's office on August 1. 

On August 3, Sergeant George LeRoy Traver of E Com- 
pany was commissioned Second Lieutenant and assigned to 
H Company. 

Chaplain Albert Dod Minor was appointed Regimental 
Postmaster, and First Lieutenant Frank B. Edwards of C 
Company was appointed Ordnance Officer of the Regiment. 



— 19 — 

On Aiio-iist 8 the regiment was supplied with Springlield 
rifles, and witliin a few days a full equipment, consisting of 
packs, haversacks, canteens, belts, shelter tents and poles 
was issued. 

On August 17th, the regiment was presented with a regu- 
lation standard of both National and State colors by the 
" Society of the Daughters of the Revolution in the State of 
New York." The formal presentation was to have been 
made on the parade grounds, a temporary platform having 
been erected for the accommodation of the members of the 
society, but this ceremony had to be omitted on account of 
the severe rain storm which continued throughout the day. 

Sergeants Philip S. Golderman of I Company and Michael 
J. Murphy of K Company were ap})ointed Color Serg<Mints 
and D Company was designated as Color Company. 

On August 19, Major Houston, of the Paymaster's Depart- 
ment, came to camp and made all happy by giving them 
their pay for July. 

After much delay the Post Quartermaster succeeded in 
obtaining some lumber, and a detail of men from each com- 
pany was immediately set to work building tent floors. By 
the 22d of August every tent in the regiment was furnished 
with a substantial board floor, which added materially to 
the health and comfort of the men, as the earth on which

pany were discharged on August 30. These men were ex- 
amined by a Board of Surgeons and declared to be unfit for 
further military duty. 

On August 29, Benjamin M. Holden, a private in E Com- 
pany, died at the Post Hospital at Camp Black, of malarial 
fever. His remains were sent to his late home at Water- 
town, N. Y., for interment. This was the tirst death in thi^ 
regiment. 

Dennis B. Lucey, First Lieutenant in H Company, having 
previously tendered his resignation, was, on August 31, dis- 
charged from the service, pursuant to orders received from 
the Secretarv of War. 

On September 3, Second Lieutenant John J. Callanan of 
C Company was appointed First Lieutenant of H Company 
vice Lucey, resigned. Sergeant Duncan C. Lee of M Com- 
pany was promoted Second Lieutenant of C Company. 

The number of men sick and unfit for duty increased 
daily at an alarming rate. Many were suffering from ma- 
larial fever and not a few from typhoid fever. The number 
of patients at the Post Hospital became so large that it was 
necessary to secure the service of a number of trained 
nurses. They were furnished by the Ked Cross Society, to 
the members of which a large number of soldiers are deeply 
indebted for the treatment they received during their ser- 
vice in the volunteer army. 

Notwithstanding the effect of rumors that the regiment 
was to be mustered out and the increase of sickness in camp, 
the spirits of the men were buoyed up by the hope that the 
regiment would be called into active service. 

New hopes were infused by the receipt of orders directing 
the regiment to proceed to Camp Meade, Pa., as this move 
was considered a step toward the front. 

On September 5, the First Battalion under command of 
Lieutenant-Colonel Sanger, left camp in heavy marching 
order for Creedmoor, a distance of about eight miles, where 
they arrived late in the evening. The men spent the night 
in shelter tents and the following morning was devoted to 



— 22 — 

rifle practice, after which they returned to camp. As sooh 
as the First Battalion returned to camp the Second and 
Third Battalions, also in heavy marching order, started for 
Creedmoor, where they arrived at about 10 p. m., September 
6. A camp was hastily made of shelter tents in which the 
men spent the night, and in the morning they proceeded to 
the rifle range for practice. While at the range a severe 
rain storm set in, through which the men were obliged to 
march on their return to camp. 

Pursuant to orders received from the Secretary of War, 
Captain John F. Klein of F Company was discharged from 
the service on September 7. 

On the same day Private Sidney Thompson of B Company 
died of typhoid fever at the Post Hospital, Camp Black, N. 
Y. His remains was sent to his former home at Yonkers, 
N. Y., for interment. 

The regiment received from the " Society of Colonial 
Wars " twelve handsome trumpets, each bearing the follow- 
ing inscription: '' Presented to the 203rd Regt. N. Y. Vols., 
by the Society of Colonial Wars.-' 

On September 10, preparations for the movement to Camp 
Meade w ere begun. The tents except those occupied by the 
officers were taken down and together with the other regi 
mental property hauled to the station and put on board the 
cars. 

After a hard day's work the men spent the night in shelter 
tents, which were pitched on what had been previously used 
as the parade ground. The following morning the w^ork of 
transferring the baggage from the camp to the station was 
resumed and by noon all the camp equipage was loaded on 
the cars. 

Five days' field rations, except the fresh meat and bread 
allowances, was issued to the regiment and two days' travel 
rations was issued to each company. 

A large number of men were sick in the Post Hospital at 
Camp Black where it w^as necessary to leave them, as no 
provision had been made for their transfer to Camp Meade. 



- 23 — 

At about 2 p. m. the regiiueut, iji heavy marchiu<»- order, 
proceeded to the station, where a traiu of two sections was 
in waiting. 

The presence at the railroad station of tlie 202nd Regi- 
ment band, which played while the men were entering the 
cars and until the train started, was greatly ap^jreciated by 
the members of the 203rd. 

The first section pulled out from the station at about 3 
p. m., and was closely followed by the second section. The 
troops on their arrival at Long Island City were marched 
to the ferry-slip and put aboard a large ferryboat, which 
landed them at the pier of the Central Railroad of New 
Jersev. 

The trip from Long Island City to Jersey City was enliven- 
ed by the salutes of the different steam crafts on the I'iver 
and the cheers of the people who were assembled on the 
piers along the route. 

At Jersey City a train of three sections was in waiting, 
and the men were immediately put aboard, a separate seat 
being assigned to each man. 

At about 8.30 p. m. the first section left Jersey City and 
was followed closely by the second and third sections. 

The route taken was over the Central Railroad of New 
Jersey to Allentown, thence over the Philadelphia and 
Reading to Middletown, Pa. 

The three sections arrived at Middletown, Pa., within a 
few minutes of each other; the last at about 5 o'clock ^Mon-

who were detailed with the Brigade bakery when the regi- 
ment moved to Camp Wetherill, S. C. 

The organization of a regimental band which had been 
contemi)lated for some time was effected, and the necessary 
instruments purchased from the Third Regiment, N. Y, 
Vols., which regiment was then under orders to be mustered 
out. 

An Exchange or Canteen was here established and con- 
ducted by a civilian under the direct supervision of an officer 
detailed from the regiment for that purpose. This institu- 
tion was heartily welcomed by the men, as they were now 
afforded an opportunity to purchase necessaries and some 
delicacies at reasonable prices. 

On September 17, Second Lieutenant Arthur G. Ackert 
of D Company, who was ill with typhoid fever, was taken to 
St. Clare Hospital, Harrisburgh, Pa., where he nmiaiued in 
a precarious condition for some time. He did not rejoin

— 27 — 

Charles R. jNIiirray of E Oonipany was imisteivd iu as Quar- 
termaster. 

Overcoats and extra blankets were here issued to the men 
and they proved very acceptable, as the ni<j;hts had become 
decidedly cold. 

It was thought that the chanoe from Camp Black to Cam]) 
Meade would luive a beneficial effect upon the health of the 
men, but such was not the case. The number of sick con- 
tinued to increase and nearly every day a number of men 
were taken to the Division Hospital. The fact that the 
regiment was located on ground wiiich but a short time 
since had been occupied by other troops was not conducive 
to the betterment of this condition of affairs. 

The number of sick in the Division Hospital had increas- 
ed to such an extent that it became necessary to procure 
other accommodations. Those whose cases were considered 
the most dangerous were transferred to the different hospi- 
tals in the neighboring cities, and the men who were able 
to travel were given a furlough for thirty days and sent 
home. 

The officials became alarmed at the fierce inroads made 
in the ranks by sickness, and at once set about to obtain a 
new camp site at a distance from the other troops. 

A satisfactory location was secured at Conewago, a small 
station on the line of the Pennsylvania Railroad, about 
eight miles from the present camp. 

Lumber and tents were forwarded to the new camp and 
a detail of men from the regiment in charge of Lieutenants 
Sturgis and Traver were sent there to prepare the cam[), as

be abandoned.

recting the regiment to proceed at once to the new camp 
at Conewago. The baggage and camp equipments, except 
tents were loaded on the mule wagons of the 2nd Division 
wagon train, and at about 2 p. m. the train, consisting of 
about fifty wagons, started for Conewago. 

The regiment marched to the Camp Meade Station, where 
a train was in waiting. The men at once went aboard and 
were conveyed to Conewago Station, which was within a 
very short distance of the new camp. 



Chapter V. 



Conewago. 

At first the regiment suffered on account of the inade- 
quate supply of good water, as all the water to be used for 
cooking purposes was brought from the supply at Camp 
Meade in tank-cars. The first shipment was made in an 
oil tank and was wholly unfit for use as it was impossible 
to remove the odor and taste of oil, though two different 
filters were used with that object in view. Thereafter the 
water was brought from Camp Meade in an old engine ten- 
der, and though the quantity was limited the quality was 
much improved. 

A well equipped hospital was established and qualified 
men from the regiment detailed to act as attendants. The 
typhoid fever patients were not retained at this hospital 
for treatment, but were sent to some reputable hospital in 
one of the nearby cities. 

Of the number of men detailed as attendants at the regi- 
mental hospital. Corporal Lee B. Wriglit of A Company 
and Private Silas S. Feeter of D Company, maintained their 
connection with the hospital during the existence of the 
regiment.

regiment, where he remained for over a montli. He was an

pointed Sergeant-Major vice Frear promoted. 

During the morning of October 3rd, two men from D Com- 
pany while on their way to a stream a short distance from 
camp, discovered the body of Private William R. Ostrander, 
of the same company, lying in the brush. They hastened 
back to camp and notified the Surgeon in charge, who at 
once sent an ambulance after the body. An examination 
disclosed the fact that death resulted from angina pectoris, 
a form of heart disease. The body was sent to an under- 
taker at Elizabethtowu, and after funeral services, in which 
the local Grand Army Post participated, the remains were 
sent to Newburgh, N. Y., for interment.

field, at which the regiment was present, was conducted by 
the Chaplain. The "Church call" was sounded and the 
companies marched to the parade ground, where they form- 
ed a semi-circle in front of the temporary pulpit Avhich had 
been previously erected. 

The service was opened with a prayer, followed by the 
singing of hymns, after which the Chaplain delivered an 
eloquent and forcible sermon in which he called the atten- 
tion of his audience to the fact that a soldier had many 



— 31 — 

things to be thankful for and that a sohlier's life was not 
altogether a hard one. The service was closed by the sing- 
ing of the "National Ode," in which the members of the 
regiment heartily joined.

On the same day Cai)tain John I. Pruyn of R Company 
left for his home at Yonkers, N. Y., on sick leave, and First 
Lieutenant Nugent assumed command of the company. 

The people in the vicinity of the camp cherished a very 
friendly feeling for the soldiers and did much toward re- 
lieving the monotony of their existence. The inhabitants 
of Elizabethtown, a village within about two miles from the 
camp, were particularly kind. The town hall was convert- 
ed into a dining room where the ladies of the villaoe served 
meals to the pi-ovost guard wlio were stationed in tlic vicin- 
ity. 

Assistant Surgeon Abram L. Hayues returned to the regi-

On November 11th, "Reveille'' was s«)iimli'(l ai an early 
hour and the work of breaking camp begun at omc The 
tents were taken down and together with the otiicr tamp 
eijnipage hauled to the station. After all the baggage was 
put aboard the ears the horses and mules were loaded on 
cattle cars and the ambulances and mule wagons put on flat 
cars. Some time was consumed in getting ilie horses and 
mules in the cars, as some of them had decided objections to 
such narrow quarters. The tent floors \\<'re neatly i)iled 
and the camp thoroughly policed, all of which was complet- 
ed before noon. 

Three days travel rations were issued to each company, 
and Lieutenants Baldwin, Traver and Hannah were detail- 
ed as Acting Quarternmster of the first, second and third 
Battalions respectively. 

At about 1 p. m. the regiment, in heavy marching order, 
left the camp and proceeded to the station where a train of 
three sections was in waiting. A number of freight cars 
were attached to each section, and after much backing and 
switching the first section left Conewago Station at about 
2.30 p. m. The first section was in charge of Lieutenant- 
Colonel Sanger and carried Companies A, I, M and E. This 
section took on the Brigade Staff, guard detail and baggage 
at Harrisburgh, Pa. The second section was in charge of 
Major Goodier and carried Companies C, 1), II and (J; and 
the third section was in charge of Majoi- McClintock and 
carried Companies B, F, K and L. 

The three sections arrived at Baltimore within a few 
minutes of each other at about 9 ]). m. The train remained 
here for some time. Another delay was experienced at 
Washington, where the three sections arrived within half 
an hour of each other; the first at about 11.30 j). ni. 

A short distance out from Washington the engine attach- 
ed to the second section broke down, and this section was 
side-tracked for several hours, duriug which time it was 
passed by the third section. TIk^ first and tliiid sections 
were now running- close together with the second section 



— 36 — 

about two hours behind, which relative position they main- 
tained to the end of the journey. 

When the morning of November 12th dawned bright and 
clear the regiment was traveling through that part of Vir- 
ginia where years before the contending armies of the North 
and South struggled for supremacy, and where many brave 
men sacrificed their lives on the altar of the God of War 
that the cause which each thought just might prevail. 

Time, however, has effectually removed the evidences of 
the conflict, and the hills and vales then red with the blood 
of brothers were resplendant in autumnal foliage. 

The first and third sections arrived at Charlottesville, 
Va., at about 8 a. m., and the second section at 10 a. m. The 
officers and men of each section breakfasted at this place. 

The mid-day meal was had at Lynchburgh, Va., where the 
first two sections arrived at about 12 m., and the last section 
at 2 p. m. Stops were also made for meals at Danville, Va., 
and Greenboro, N. C. 



Chapter VL 



Camp Wetherill. 

The regiment, after a very slow and tiresome ti'ijt, arrived 
at Greenville, S. C, early Sunday morning, November 13tli. 

A very severe rain storm was in progress, which con- 
tinued throughout the day, adding much to the discomfort 
of the men while engaged in transferring the baggage and 
making camp. The men also learned something of the 
quality of southern mud, as it was several inches deep on 
the road over which they were obliged to pass on the way to 
camp. 

The camp had been previously laid out by the Engineer 
officers and a number of tent floors were on the ground, 
therefore there was very little delay in getting the tents in 
position. The tents were erected in row^s of three, the front 
and center tents being open at both ends, thus forming one 
long tent. This form of construction was adopted in order 
to reduce the number of separate structures to correspond 
with the number of tent-stoves allowed to the regiment. 

The three regiments, the 203rd X. Y., 4th N. J., and 2nd 
W. Va., which composed the First Brigade of the Second 
Division of the Second Army Corps, were located on a ridge 
just north of Greenville; the 203rd being on the west and 
nearest the Second Division Hospital. 

A crop of sweet potatoes had just been removed from the 
ground now occupied by the regiment and it required con- 
siderable time and labor to put it in a satisfactory condi- 
tion. Just north of the camp a crop of cotton was in full 
growth. 

The present location of the regiment admitted of a thor- 
ough system of drainage, which was immediately adopted 
and the work of making the camp thoroughly sanitary car- 



— 38 — 

ried out, as it was expected that the regiment would remain 
here for some time. The water supply of the regiment was 
taken from the Greenville water works, and was of a much 
better quality than that which was furnished at any other 
camp. 

Second Lieutenant Charles W, Frear of E Company, did 
not accompany the regiment to Greenville, as an order di- 
recting his discharge was received from the Secretary of 
War on November 11th. 

On November 12th, Second Lieutenant George J. Win- 
slow of G Company, who had been absent for a long time on 
sick l^ave, was discharged from the service of the Ignited 
Stat- pursuant to an order received from the War Depart- 
men 

Tht^ "Ificers of the regiment leased a large house in the 
immediaie vicinity of the camp and established their mess 
therein. Some of the rooms were also fitted up for the ac- 
commodation of officers on the sick list, and the barns on 
the premises were converted into stables for the horses. 

At about 9 p. m., November 14th, a fire broke out in the 
tent used by the Adjutant as an office, and some of the 
reconls of the regiment were destroyed. The fire occurred 
during the temporary absence of the Sergeant-Ma j or, and 
was caused by the overturning of a lighted candle which he 
had left on the desk. Fortunately, the important records 
of the regiment were not destroyed, as they had not been 
removed from the cases in which they were brought from 
Conewago. 

Tlie Quartermaster's Department furnished lumber with 
which to build cook-shacks and mess-halls, and in a short 
time each company had erected comfortable and spacious 
buildings. 

The mess-halls were particularly desirable, being large, 
well lighted, well heated and generally adapted to fill a 
long felt want in furnishing the men with a comfortable 
place to eat in and where they could spend their spare time

durino- stormy weather aud the long autumn and winter

On November 15tb, Privates Fred A. Lasher and Robert

was transferred to the United States Signal Corps, pursuant

Some of the companies received from their home stations, 
large consignments of turkeys and other seasonable edibles; 
others substantial sums of money, while the less fortunate 
companies were obliged to raise by subscription the funds 



- 40 - 

necessary to purchase the supplies for the time honored 
turkey dinner. 

On November 25th, First Sergeant Anton H. Schroeter of 
L Company was commissioned Second Lieutenant of E Com- 
pany, vice Frear resigned. 

On November 26, the First Brigade of which the regiment 
formed a part was reviewed by Generals Young and Davis. 
The review was held in a large field to the north of the 
camp. The Brigade presented a very fine appearance, and 
the Colonels were highly complimented by the reviewing 
officers on the condition of their respective commands. 

On the same day the regiment received a consignment of 
Sibley tent stoves, which were at once issued to the com- 
panies. One stove was allowed to each row of three tents 
and was put up in the front tent, from which position it was 
capable, when properly attended, of comfortably warming 
the whole three tents. 

It was now getting late in the month and all hands were 
of the opinion that the Paymaster had forgotten the loca- 
tion of the regiment. This was not the case, however, as 
he arrived in camp on the 28th, well supplied with funds, 
which he distributed among the members of the regiment 
according to their rank and previous conduct. 

On November 29th orders were received from the Secre- 
tary of War directing the discharge of Major Surgeon Bur- 
ton S. Booth, he having previously tendered his resignation. 
He was not mustered out, however, until December 1.

ing tendered his resignation, was on December Sth, honora- 
bly discharged from the service of the United States. On 
the same day Second Lieutenant Fred W. Field was detail- 
ed on special duty at the Second Division Hospital. 

During the early part of December the uKMubers of the 
Non-Commissioned Staff, who had previously been assigned 
to the different companies for rations, organized a separate 
mess in a house near the camp. 

The many rumors to the effect that the regiment was to 
be sent to Cuba for garrison duty on or about January ls(, 
attained considerable credence when orders were received 
by the Quartermaster directing him to immediately i>repare 
and forward a requisition for " canvas uniforms for tropical 



— 42 — 

service;" but the uniforms, lilie the orders to proceed to 
Cuba, were never received.

camp on December 19th, and paid the men for November. 

Early on the morning of December 20th, Private John B. 
Mattice of K Company, while on guard duty at one of the 
outposts in the eastern part of Greenville, discovered two 
members of the 2nd West Virginia Begiment shooting at a 
tree in the vicinity of his post. This being directly con- 
trary to orders, he commanded them to desist, but they paid 
no attention to him, and when he repeated his command 
they turned upon him and fired two shots in his direction. 
He fearing for his life, slipped a cartridge into his rifle and 
fired in the direction of the men. The bullet hit the nearer 



— 43 — 

man and passed tlirouj;h bis body iulli«.'tin<;- a wound from 
which he died soon afterward. The second man was also 
slij^iitly wounded by the same bullet. Mattice was placed 
under arrest and held for trial before a General Court Mar- 
tial. 

This occurrence was much to be deplored as it created 
among the members of the 2ud \A'. Va. Kegimeut, a bitter 
feeling against the men of the Two llundred and Third, 
which later on resulted in bloodshed.

in and about vacant buildings situated on a hill to the north 
of the camp.

er part of it melted as it fell.

So long as there was any chance of the regiuient being- 
ordered to active duty, Col. Sanger postponed action regard- 
ing his new appointment; but when satisfied that the regi- 
ment M'ould soon be mustered out, he sent in his resignation 
as an ofificer in the volunteer service, in order to take up his 
duties in the State force— duties made especially important 
by reason of the reorganization of the National Guard, 
which was being energetically carried forward by the State 
authorities. 

Colonel Sanger was held in the highest esteem by both 
officers and enlisted men, and as he was about to leave camp 
he was surrounded by the members of the regiment who 
took advantage of this occasion to show the extent of their 
appreciation and at the same time bid farewell to the man, 
who during his sojourn with the regiment, had won ilieir 
confidence and estc^en.

ment of the camp were issued by Colonel Schuyler, which 
among other things, directed that no colored person or 
suspicious character be allowed within the guard lines. 

During the night of February 8th a cold wave struck the 
camp, and the rain storm which had been in progress dur- 
ing the day turned into a very severe snow storm. The tem- 
perature continued to fall until it reached a point several 



— 49 — 

degrees below zero, an nuusual occiirreuce in this ]);n't of 
the country. This change was verv sn«hh*n and caused con- 
siderable suffering in the regiment, particularly among the 
men who were obliged to do guard duty. The number of 
sentry posts about the camii were reduced an<l tlic ridiefs 
posted ever^' hour, in (n-der to lessen as far as possible the

er continued for about a week.

the men accepted the monotony of camp life with commend-

On March 1st a number of non-commissioned otticers were 
appointed to fill existino- vacencies in the dilVerent com- 
panies, thus completing- the rolls prior to musteriiiii out. 

Private Ernest Ejjjier of G Company, havin<,' been examin- 
ed by a Board of Suroeons, was, on the fith of March, dis- 
charo-ed from the service because of physical disability, 
which unfitted him for further military duty. 

The Sath day of March was selected as the date on which 
the regiment was to be mustered out, and on March Gth the 
physical examination of the men was beoun by the Surgeons 
who had been detailed for that purpose. Major Surgeon 
Kneedler of the Fourth New Jersey Regiment, and Acting- 
Assistant Surgeons Riefsnyder and Cohen of the Second 
Division Hospital, were detailed to conduct the examina- 
tions. 

The examination was by no means thorough, as the men 
were rushed through at the rate of about two per minute, 
except in cases where disability was claimed, in which case 
a little more time was devoted to the work. 

On March 8th, Private James E. Potts of I Company was 
discharged, and on the following day Private ^lichael T. 
Connelly of F Company was also discharged from the ser- 
vice. 

During the evening of March 11th, Private John H. Rob- 
erts of B Company, while on his way to camp from Green- 
ville, was shot and dangerously wounded by Provost Guard 
W. T. Sherman Ward, a private of Company K, 2nd AN'est 
Virginia. The shooting was done with a revolver and was 
entirely un])rovoked, and was thought to be the outcome 
of the bad blood which had been aroused among th<' mem- 
bers of the 2nd West Virginia by the killing of one (if ilicii- 
members by Private Mattice of K Com])any, while on duty 
as a provost guard, during the month of D(n-ember, 1S08. 

Lieutenant-Colonel Goodier who had been in command of 
the regiment since February 21st, was relieved on March 



— 52 — 

16th by Colonel Schuyler, Avho had been in command of the 
First Brigade since the 20th of February. 

On March 17th Colonel Schuyler reviewed the evening- 
parade for the last time, and the men of the regiment never 
presented a better appearance than when they marched in 
review on this occasion. 

Private James T. Haynes of H Company was discharged 
without honor on March 18th, pursuant to the verdict of a 
General Court ^Martial before which he had been tried. 

The work preparatory to the mustering out of the regi- 
ment progressed rapidly under the supervision of Captain 
Ezra B. Fuller, 7th U. S. Cavalry, who had been detailed as 
mustering officer, and was all finished within the required 
time. 

Being mindful of the fact that it is but human to err, men- 
tion of the names of the men who were tried by Summary 
Court have been purposely omitted, as it is considered 
enough that these unpleasant occurrences remain in the 
memory of the men who were thereby made to pay the pen- 
ality of their indiscretions. 

There were no permanent Battalion Adjutants appointed 
in the regiment, and these positions were filled by different 
Lieutenants. Lieutenant ^Mould of D Company acted as Ad- 
jutant of the Second Battalion the greater part of the time, 
and Lieutenant Sturgis of L Company generally performed 
similar duties in the Third Battalion. 

At 8 o'clock Saturday morning, March 2r)th, the work of 
mustering out the regiment was begun. The companies 
were formed successively on the x^arade ground and after 
the roll call was verified by Captain Fuller each company 
proceeded to the mess hall to which it had been assigned 
for payment. The field and staff and six companies were 
paid by Major Philip Gallour in Company D's mess hall, 
and the balance of the regiment received their money from 
Major Ralph Hortzell in Company H's mess hall. Each 
man received pay for one month in addition to the time 



— 53 — 

which he had served, also travel pay to the place whciv he 
was mustered in. 

At about 12 o'clock Colonel Schuyler received his dis- 
char<i;e from the Volunteer service, and tlu' Two Hundred 
and Third Keginient ceased to exist. 

The Southern liailroad (\)iiii»aiiy ^ave redu<-ed rates to 
all points in the north, and opened an ottlre in camp w here 
the men could secure their ti( Icets and check their bati-iaiie. 
A special train of three sections was provided to take the 
men north, the last section of Avhich left (Jreeiiville, S. C, 
at 4 p. m., March 25th. 

Arrangements were made by nearly all the ('ai)tains 
whereby their commands would be kept intact until they 
arrived at their respective home stations, where prepara- 
tions had been made by the citizens to receive them. 

During the eight months that the regiment was in the ser- 
vice twelve enlisted men of the regiment were commissioned 
Second Lieutenants to fill vacancies, and three vacancies 
were filled by the appointment of men who were not mem- 
bers of the regiment. 

At least one-fourth of the officers and three-fourths of 
the enlisted men were seriously sick at some time during 
the period of their service, and nineteen deaths were record- 
ed, which were divided among the companies as follows: 

A Company, two; B, one; C, two; 1), one; E, one; F, two; 
G, one; H, two; I, three; K, two; L, none; and M, one. 

Prior to March 25th fourteen officers and one hundred and 
twenty men were discharged from the servic(\ Of this num- 
ber the field, staff and non-commissioned staff furnished 
three officers and two. men; Company A, eighteen men; B, 
one officer and fourteen men; C, one officer and four men; 
D, sev<m men; E, two officers and fifteen men; 1\ four offi- 
cers and eleven men; (t, one officer and live men; II, one 
officer and eighteen men; I, one officer and eleven men; Iv, 
three men; L, seven men, and M, five men. 

The Seventy-seven men who i-eceived transfers to other 
military organizations were divided as follows: 



— 54 — 

Non-commissioned staff, one; Company A, fourteen; B, 
two; C, seventeen; D, four; E, four; F, none; G, thirteen; H, 
one; I, five; K, one; L, twelve; and M, three. 

The names of sixty men were stridden from the rolls as 
deserters, and the}' were divided among the companies as 
follows: 

Company A, three; B, four; C, two; D, two; E, seven; F, 
nine; G, none; H, eight; I, six; K, eleven; L, four, and M, 
four. 

Colonel Schuyler, who, when the regiment was mustered 
out, returned to his position as Captain, Fifth U. S. Cavalry, 
has since been commissioned Colonel of Volunteers and as- 
signed to the command of the 46th Kegiment, U. S. Vols. 

Major John McClintock and First Lieutenant and Adju- 
tant Hamilton Foley were commissioned Second Lieuten- 
ants in the regular army soon after the regiment was dis- 
banded, and the former has since been appointed Captain 
in the 46th Eegiment, XT. S. Vols. 

Lieutenant-Colonel Lewis E. Goodier has re-entered the 
volunteer service as Major of the 38th Regiment, U. S. Vols., 
and First Lieutenant Stephen H. Mould has been re-appoint- 
ed First Lieutenant of volunteers and assigned to the 44th 
Regt., U. S. Vols. 

Major and Surgeon Abram L. Haynes was the first officer 
of the regiment to receive an appointment in the new volun- 
teer army. He was commissioned Captain and Assistant 
Surgeon in the 31st Regt., United States Volunteers. 

Captain Solomon Avery, Jr., First Lieutenants James G. 
Hannah and Dexter Sturgis and Second Lieutenant Philip 
S. Golderman, accepted commissions as First Lieutenants 
in the new volunteer army. Second Lieutenant Horace 
Webster has also re-entered the volunteer service a Second 
Lieutenant.
